Chapter, 17 Gringotts and rings.

During the past 2 months Valter had been on earth he had meticulously gone through the library at his ancestral home. Finally Valter decided to see what the goblins at Gringotts had to say and maybe see about claiming the lordship. "Hmm... Would you care to repeat that?" the goblin asked.

So now Valter just stood there in front of the Goblin teller and rolled his eyes, but did as he was asked.

"I have reason to believe that I am able to inherit lordship for the house of valine." there was another moment of silence before, "That's what I thought you said." The Goblin hopped Down from behind his desk, "Please follow me."
With a glance behind him valter motion for his three... Associates? Henchman?... Ladies? To follow.

Bloodclaw was just finishing up some paperwork when there was a knock at his office door, with a, "Inter" he glanced up to see a group of four being led into his office, glancing over at the younger goblin he raised an eyebrow.

"My apologies for disturbing you Lord bloodclaw, but we have a gentleman who wishes to have a lineage test." the goblin responded. Bloodclaw nodded in motion for the other to leave, then motion the newcomers to take a seat.

After a few moments of silence while bloodclaw examine the people in front of him, catching on to the fact that their magic felt different than the witches and wizards he was used to. Giving a smile that most witches and wizards would find most creepy he began to speak, "Ah." bloodclaw started, "Rmu? Its been a long while since I've talk to one of your kind." Bloodcloth said.

The three witches glanced at one another with puzzled looks before the one with curly hair asked, "what?" Bloodclaw gave a rough chuckle before stating, "Rmu, r.m.u." he pulled some papers from his desk as he explained, "It stands for Ritual Magic User." the Goblin went on to explain about the two differences of magic and why there were two different sides to begin with, while he was doing this he was setting up a few doodads for the inheritance test.

Once the test was completed the lineage appear on the parchment. Bloodclaw whistled at what it showed.

Blood lineage for Valter Valine.

Heir to house Valine.

Magic type,

Ritual magic user.

Gender, male.

Age, 25.

The list continued but the goblin was happy with what he saw, pressing a button on his desk he leaned back into his chair and waited, not a moment later a nother goblin came into the office looking at lord bloodclaw, the other goblin stood there waiting to be addressed.

Looking at the other, Bloodclaw asked in his native tongue, gobbledygook, "Please go down to the valley in vaults and grab the lordship ring and the consort ring please."

after the other Goblin noddig the group was left alone again. After watching the Goblin leave Valter turn back around to face Bloodclaw. "I wonder if you might be able to help me with a nother matter?" The Goblin raise one eyebrow as he stared at the soon to be Lord.

Valter not in the least concern with the look he was receiving from the Goblin Lord just continued, "I am searching for a most meticular bloodline, and were wondering if maybe you could help." Bloodclaw snorted before saying "It depends." But before anymore could be said the Goblin who was sent to retrieve the rings scurried back into the room, accepting the box Lord bloodclaw then placed it on the desk opening it and turning it so the group could see inside.

The box was a deep brown, with a dark blue fabric lining the inside, resting nestled in the fabric were too rings.
The Goblin nodded for Valter to inspect the rings, to reach out and pick up the ring in the left side of the box.

Doing as instructed Valter couldn't help but gape slightly at the ring held in his hand, the ring was marvelous, stunning. A silver band with the most interesting orange stone he had ever seen, it seem to catch every single ray of light in the room and reflect it in such a way to make a rainbow reflect off of it. He wasn't normally in one to obsess over jewelry but the ring had a quality to it that made it... Perfect!

Placing the ring on his finger Valter jerked as a burst of power enveloped his body, looking up at the goblin he asked, "Where did all that our come from?"

Bloodclaw just chuckled as he said: "All that was the magic of the ring connecting and re-establishing the bonds with the family magic." he placed his hands folded on his desk as he continued. "As you are most likely aware, the Valter family has been... Absent for the last hundred years or so."

Valter cockt a eyebrow, "But wait. if that was the case. Then why wasn't the lordship given to the Valines closest descendants?" Valter asked puzzled.

Bloodclaw smiled as he informwd them, "A house and its lordship has to be unclaimed for a hundred and fifty years before it is given to the closest blood family."

"Hmm." he contemplated that as he looked down at the other ring, picking it up he examined it. It was smaller than the one on his own finger although it was made by the same type of metal and have the same kind of rock, placing it back in the box he looked back up at the goblin and started to explain what he was trying to do and who he was trying to find.

After another hour voltar and the tricks made their way out of the bank but with voltar promising to come back another time to check out his family vaults.
